Various Fears That Everyone’s Had In The Bedroom

The bedroom is the host, among other things, of two basic rituals: sleeping and sex.  When we enter it, we're either sleepy or horny.  For some people, however, there's an additional mood — and that mood is "afraid."  As great as sex is, it can be troubling for some.  In fact, it can be straight up scary.  Some areas of sex just aren't as easy to approach for some people, and it can make the experience one of certain dread.  The only silver lining, really, is that they're not alone.  We've all got our various insecurities, and some of them just happen to relate to the bedroom.  Keep reading to find out about various fears that everyone's had in the bedroom.

Strange odors “downstairs.” Sometimes our bodies just like to sabotage our greatest moments. Yes, you showered. Yes, you cleaned yourself down there. But the day may have gotten the better of you, and for all you know, it won’t be as squeaky clean as you remember it.

Performing poorly. In your head, you think you’re a fine lay. But for all you know, you might suck. You like to imagine that you’re as talented as the best porn stars you’ve masturbated to, but, seeing as you tend to perform awkwardly in most other avenues in life, you assume the same might be the case with sex.

Breaking his penis. Penises don’t have bones, right? But they can technically break. Right? When you’re in charge of handling sensitive equipment, you panic. There’s a chance you’ll be the one who ruins this guy’s manhood, even though you’ll likely be more careful than anyone else with how worried you already are.

Biting too hard. You want to be sexy, and to do that, you want to push the limits. But how far is too far in terms of biting. Does nibbling count? What kind of pressure does skin require to actually break? These are the issues that trouble you during sex…

Scratching too hard. Wanting to play rough can come with some harmful side effects. Scratching can be incredibly sexy, but bleeding probably isn’t. Either you haven’t trimmed your nails short enough or your trimmed them in such a way that they’re now surprisingly sharper than they should be.

Getting an STI or disease. When sex ends in sickness, there’s nothing more haunting. Like everyone else, you like to play safe, but sometimes sh*t happens. This worries you the most out of anything, and yet you’re afraid that that fear will hold you back from enjoying yourself at all.

Not being big enough. For all the worries that women have, guys are just panicky. You may just want to have sex, but he’s freaking out because he’s compared his penis to an Oscar Meyer wiener, and it was bigger than him. Now, that’s all he thinks about. Now, it’s all he assumes you’ll be thinking about.

Orgasming too soon. No one likes the person who leaves the party too early. In this case, that person may be him. He wants to hold out strong and go out with a legitimate bang, but for all he knows, it might hit him too quickly. On the other hand, it may never hit at all…

How you look naked. Humans are naturally insecure creatures. We pick ourselves apart constantly, sizing ourselves up and judging ourselves before anyone else even has the chance to themselves. So being naked in front of someone is a legitimate fear, and one that can nearly put sex on the back burner.

Farting. The last things anyone wants during sex are weird noises and foul smells. But sometimes our butts are out of our control. With all the pushing and humping that’s going on, passing gas almost seems inevitable. We fight it when we feel it coming, but knowing that it’s possible is torture.

Pain. Who knows what sex might bring… With all the pleasure that comes with sex, there is the chance at some unexpected pain. Our bodies can do miraculous things, but in between, every so often, they can bring us some unexpected bouts of physical torture.

Becoming emotionally attached. Sometimes we just need to get off. It’s a human instinct and it’s totally natural. But sex can complicate things. It can make us make insane choices and screw with our emotions. Sometimes, the last thing we want is to get emotionally involved, but that’s easier said than done.

Regret. Everyone’s regretted having sex with someone at least once in their life. In the moment, we’re horny and not thinking straight, but then right afterwards, reality hits. What the hell did we just do? Who is this person? Why this person? It’ll end up haunting us for a while.

Making weird moaning sounds. Even though adult film stars seem to be able to get away with whatever the hell they want and still look sexy, imagining yourself doing the same makes you assume you’ll just look foolish. In the back of your head, you know you’re overthinking it, but it still freaks you knowing you might come off like a creep in the bedroom.

Seeming too easy. The last thing anyone wants is for people to think they’re easy. We put a lot of effort in projecting the best parts of ourselves onto other people, so when something as silly as sex ruins that image, it can be devastating.
